Borders in cyberspace is the future. There are increased efforts to regulate the internet everywhere. Think copyright, age verification, the GDPR, or even anti-CSAM laws. It’s all about making sure that information is only available to people who are permitted to access it. China is really leading the way here.
We do not agree with China’s regulations, but that only means that we need border controls. Data must be checked for regulatory compliance with local laws.

The ‘cyberspace’ is designed to be decentralized, exactly the opposite of what you describe. China is trying to ‘lead the way’ into an Orwellian dystopia, and that’s among the least things we need.

I just described what’s going on. The world outside of China or Russia is going slower but the direction is the same.
